Bobby... I'm just up the road from you and definitely ran into the same thing. Prices were way inflated with shipping costs used as an excuse. I understand the need to pay for shipping, but not at 2X or 3X the actual shipping costs to the dealer.
Admittedly, I did not look at the Oregon built trailers. I cant recall why but I think it was a combination of price and lack of the exact layout I wanted.
Bottom line is that I ended up buying from Holman in Cincinatti, Ohio area. I contracted with my own shipper and took care of everything via phone and e-mail.

I would recommend looking into it as an option. If for nothing else than a well-informed bargaining chip with the local dealers.
Feel free to PM me if you would like more or specific info on my experience, shipper used, etc.
